Surgeon Explains Upper Eyelid Surgery

Book a consultation: https://eyelid.pro/book What actually happens during an upper blepharoplasty? In this video I walk through the entire procedure, where the incision goes, what gets removed (it's not just skin), whether you need to be sedated, and what recovery really looks like. I'll also cover what an eyelid lift can't fix, why removing skin alone can actually make your brows droop further, and the one question you should ask any surgeon before letting them near your eyelids. I'm Dr. Kian Eftekhari, a board-certified oculofacial plastic surgeon at the Eyelid Center of Utah. Eyelid surgery is all I do, and upper blepharoplasty is the most common procedure in my practice.
